The disclosure refers to a static mixer for use in an exhaust system for a combustion engine and for the mixing of an additive injected into an exhaust system. The mixer consists of a tubular housing encircling a central axis X. The housing comprises an input opening at the end in the direction of central axis X and at the opposite end an outlet opening, whereby the inlet opening is used for the supply of additive injected into the exhaust system. The housing is closed in the section of the inlet opening and in the section of the outlet opening in circumferential direction around the central axis X. The static mixer is designed to generate little counterpressure, to guarantee rapid and complete reducing agent preparation and at the same time to be resistant to production tolerances. For this purpose, housing forms a tubular segment related to an XY plane parallel to central axis X of mixer and at right angles to a main flow direction S downstream of the XY plane, which features several openings as perforations orientated in radial direction to central axis X and a tubular segment downstream of the XY plane which features a recess in which several guiding plates are arranged.

An exhaust-gas aftertreatment system for an internal combustion engine, having a catalyst device, which is designed to catalytically react at least one exhaust-gas component with a reactant, and a reactant-metering device, which is arranged upstream of the catalyst device along a flow path of the exhaust gas through the exhaust-gas aftertreatment system. The reactant-metering device has at least one exhaust-gas flow nozzle.

Apparatuses and methods for urea dosing of an exhaust after treatment system are disclosed. Exemplary apparatuses include a chamber configured to receive pressurized gas at a first inlet, receive urea solution at a second inlet and provide a combined flow of pressurized gas and urea to an outlet, flow passage extending from the first inlet to a seating surface, and a valve member configured to move between an open position in which the valve member is spaced apart from the seating surface and a closed position in which the valve member contacts the seating surface. As the valve member moves from the open position to the closed position, the valve member contacts the seating surface at a first location and wipes an area of the seating surface extending from the first location in a direction toward the flow passage.

Exhaust replication systems and methods, such as systems for testing automotive exhaust aftertreatment devices. More particularly, methods for steady state and transient generation and flow of NO.sub.2 and/or NO from a fluid such as nitric acid for introduction into the burner-based exhaust replication system.

An emissions treatment apparatus includes a first mechanism arranged to receive an exhaust gas, wherein the first mechanism is supplied with a first substance arranged to react with a first exhaust compound to process the exhaust gas, the first substance being chemically derived from an electrolyte source. The emissions treatment apparatus further comprises a second mechanism arranged to receive the exhaust gas after its reaction with the first exhaust compound; wherein the second mechanism receives a second substance arranged to react with a second exhaust compound to further process the exhaust gas, the second substance being chemically derived from an electrolyte source.

The present disclosure relates to an exhaust purification apparatus and a method of controlling the apparatus. The exhaust purification apparatus includes: an injector for injecting urea solution into an exhaust pipe; a driving unit to provide driving force for adjusting an injection angle of the injector; and a control unit to determine the injection angle of the injector based on values of a spatial velocity, flow rate, pressure and temperature of exhaust gas and to drive the driving unit so as to control the injection angle of the injector. In particular, the injection angle of the injector is adjusted by pivotal movement of the injector.

Method and system for removal of particles such as soot, ash and heavy metals, and optionally additionally NO.sub.X and SO.sub.X being present in exhaust gas from an engine or process equipment.

A mixing device for integration into an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine and for mixing an exhaust gas stream (T), which device is formed from a housing having a tubular wall and a mid-axis that can be aligned parallel to the exhaust pipe and from an intermediate wall which is aligned transversely with respect to the mid-axis, wherein the intermediate wall divides the housing and has an inflow side and an outflow side, wherein at least one inflow opening (E1) is provided in the intermediate wall, via which the exhaust gas stream (T) can at least partly flow from the inflow side of the intermediate wall to the opposite outflow side of the intermediate wall, wherein the at least one inflow opening (E1) is placed eccentrically with respect to the mid-axis and is brought close to a wall section (W1) of the tubular wall, wherein a flow guide element (S2) having a longitudinal axis (L2) is provided on the outflow side, which at least partly bounds a mixing chamber with the intermediate wall and by an at least partial deflection of the exhaust gas stream (T) in a radial direction in relation to the mid-axis can be effected, wherein the flow guide element (S2) has at least two outflow openings (A1, A2) and, by the flow guide element (S2), the exhaust gas stream (T) coming from the inflow opening (E1) can be guided to the at least two outflow openings (A1, A2), wherein the outflow openings (A1, A2) are placed eccentrically with respect to the mid-axis and brought close to a common wall section (W2) of the tubular wall, wherein the wall section (W2) is arranged opposite to the wall section (W1) with respect to the mid-axis, and wherein the outflow openings (A1, A2) are arranged on opposite sides of the flow guide element (S2) with respect to the longitudinal axis (L1, L2), wherein, with respect to the mid-axis, the first partial stream (T3) can be can at least partly guided in the anticlockwise direction and a second partial stream (T4) can at least partly be guided in the clockwise direction out of the outflow openings (A1, A2).

Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas mixer. In one example, a system may include a mixer configured to alter exhaust gas flow.

A mixer assembly comprises a tubular housing including an exhaust gas inlet, an exhaust gas outlet, and a reductant inlet on a side of the tubular housing. An upstream mixing element is positioned within the tubular housing upstream from the reductant inlet. A downstream mixing element is positioned within the tubular housing downstream from the reductant inlet and the upstream mixing element. The upstream and downstream mixing elements at least partially define a reductant receiving mixing chamber in which the injected reductant and exhaust gas mix. A divider is positioned within the tubular housing downstream from the upstream mixing element to split the exhaust into two divided flow streams prior to exiting through the exhaust gas outlet.
